Wow. That was not nice to talk to fellow Chiefs fans that way. Cassell had 1 good game the other day. Probably his best game ever in 2 years as a Chief, and you wanna talk smack. And it was against the bum ass 49ers. You my friend need a hug.

I was reading Haley’s Q&A session and he was talking about how stats like time of possession became skewed due to big plays like the long run and the punt return for the touchdown. You don’t think he is purposely trying to time when he puts charles in there for run purposes do you? Another words he doesn’t always want the big play???

I agree with Brett. We are 2-0 and that is great, but we look like a train wreck out there on offense. We are so lucky we played SD in front of the Arrowhead crown on Monday night in the rain, and a Cleveland team with their backup QB, unless we would be 0-2. We have two problems….1) Our idiot coach, and 2) A dear in the headlights QB. Coach Haley needs to switch the RB up. Give Charles 22 carries and Jones 11. I am willing to bet that if Charles has 22 carries he breaks 1 or 2 of them for a TD. Jones will never break away for a TD. As for Cassel, he looks lost out there. He holds the ball too long and just seams like he has been sitting the bench for 10 years….. Oh wait…. he has!

I am excited the Chiefs are 2-0, but they are far from perfect.

At what point did Charles get benched? He has 22 carries in two games, Jones has 33. I think they are doing a great job with the running backs. Remember a certain Larry Johnson who carried the ball a 1000 times in one season and was never the same? Thomas Jones had over 1500 yards last season, let him get used to the playing with this o-line and his stats will improve. It’s not like Charles isn’t playing at all, they are just making sure they dont make him the next Larry Johnson.

Dan, Please tell me what part of the Chiefs offense is not broke right now.Oh did you say Jamaal Charles 6.4 average?, yeah we benched him for making everybody else look bad. Croyle an unproven winner? yeah your right, he’s not, but Cassel IS a proven looser. Unless you consider 30th in passing and an average of .5 touchdowns game winning material. The Chiefs are lucky to have two wins under their belt, who doesn’t agree? anyone? I predict that they finish the season 3-13 unless serious changes are made. How can Coach Todd not see this too? (this would explain his lack of post game enthusiasm). Please coach Todd do something and not let this season go to crap. If I was King of KC I would let Cassel go, pick up Vick, and V.Jackson, and actually play Charles. Wow could you imagine? And as much as I enjoy watching this seasons train wreck, its our train. Oh and please secondary, fix those gaping holes before Payton gets here, NFL plays on Sundays, Monday is your day of rest now.

I would think my coach was out of his damn mind if he pulled the current QB while the team was 2-0..Unless it was something like the starting QB was injured, and the backup led the team to 2-0 and the starter got healthy and came back, but to pull the main starting QB and put in an unproven winner??!! If it aint broke dont fix it.

I kinda am on the fence here. First of all, its only week 2. And I for 1 am freakin extactic that we are 2 – 0. Let me say that again. 2 – 0. How many people outside of the greatest fanbase in the nfl wouldve guess Chiefs would be on top of the AFC West, at any point this season? Second, {please, by all means corrim wrong here} but didnt brodie croyle play behind 1 of the greatest lines of all time when Trent went down? and I believe that went horribly bad, right? I have been a believer in Cassel and Croyle before him, but I have to agree that Cassel is the better of the 2. We gave Croyle a chance, and he Im not so his best day is as good as what we have already seen from Cassel. By NO means am I saying that Cassel is THE guy to take this team to its potential, but rather him than Palko or Croyle. I will say that if Mr. Thigpen were still here, he would def get my vote. And finally, yes we need more Jamaal Charles. The man is a beast. But remember Chiefs fans, WE are 2 – 0. Division leaders. It is a great day to be in red.

Kent, I’m game. But what is Kansas City Crossfire?? Jeff, Brodie Croyle has 0 wins. And aside from Croyle staying hurt all of the dam time, he has become a better Quarterback than Cassel. I’m just saying.

Argin, we might try reviving the Kansas City Crossfire articles Barry and I used to do. It’s basically one-paragraph opinions of how a certain player is playing.

Good arm doesn’t make a good QB. Look at Croyles NFL record as a starter–compare it to Cassels. We need WRs that can get open and linemen that can protect. Even Tom Brady would have difficulty with our receivers and line. How many games has Croyle won anyway?

Look, I’m not saying Cassel is a great or even good QB, he’s just the best on this team.

I agree with on 1 thing only, and that is that the coach is wearing defenses down with Jones, only to speed it up a little with Charles to break the big one. Second, I agree with Rich, Croyle is a good dam Quarterback that is made of glass. I suggest a switch at Quarterback NOW! Bring Croyle in and let him have at it!! We have weapons, but we just can’t get them the ball. And to NATHAN KENT, you couldn’t be more correct. Why the hell isn’t Charles getting the workload. This is his team, and Jones is a new comer. Please, read my article which I just sent late last night entitled, “FOCUS, FINISH.” I touch on many subjects that NATHAN KENT touched on, but from a different perspective. And Nathan, I got an idea. Let’s do something that has yet to be done. Let’s write an article TOGETHER. You can pick the topic, I don’t care. But, for now, let’s just enjoy the ride. GO CHIEFS!!!!!

I have to disagree with Jeff, Croyle doesnt suck. He is just made of glass. He has a great arm and I think with our somewhat improved line, he might last a few more games than he has in the past. He at least doesnt wait forever and a day to decide who to throw to, giving the defense time to get there as cassle does.

What I like most about our team is that I have seen an adjustment at half time. when they come back they are doing something different than when they went in. This shows me that the coaches are watching and making changes they think are needed. This will help us win games this year.

Croyle sucks. You just used career stats to compare RBs, but you never use career stats when comparing QBs, Cassel and Croyle? No QB will be successful in KC until they get some better receivers. We need some WRs that can create some separation. Bowe is a bigger flop than Cassel is.

I agree with you on Charles. Maybe Coach is saving him for the second half of season or maybe he thinks he wearing them down with Jones then brings in Charles. Who knows?
